oh great.. i see Rickey is on several cards in 2010 Topps.

i didnt even know he was in the set, but after my previous 2010 Topps post, i saw this post on the CU Forums and noticed Rickey’s name in the list.. i looked on ebay and saw several different 2010 Topps Rickey Henderson cards..

and i want them..

well, maybe not the “patch logo” cards, but the others I see on ebay are pretty awesome looking..

1954 bowman Charley Pride custom card..

i was reading the CU forums a few days ago and found this post about an awesome custom card featuring Charley Pride, made by by Bob Lemke to resemble the 1954 Bowman baseball set..

yes, Charley Pride the hall-of-fame country music singer was a professional baseball in the Negro Leagues before he made a name for himself in music..

check out the scan of the card below (click the photo for a larger view)..

couple of new PSA graded additions..

first of all, i deleted my PSA Registry sets, i haven’t looked at them in a long time, i never got around to uploading scans (i tried once, and it said my file was invalid or too big or something, but I’ve never had a problem here or on photobucket)..

I also don’t understand why on my PSA registry I had 2 items listed that “didn’t fit” in my sets or whatever.. seriously? I had a MASTER set and a BASIC set, I know the difference between the two, but how the hell can a RICKEY HENDERSON card not fit into my Master Set?

Anyway, i was tired of it, and deleted everything.. maybe one day I’ll start another one, but right now I’m happy with my photo gallery here..

I recently sold a few of my graded cards to a fellow Rickey collector who is putting together a basic Topps graded set, so i’ll eventually want to replace those cards, unless i decide to sell everything, which is very possible, since i’m trying to raise money for other things in life..

however, it’s still hard for me to resist adding new cards to the collection.. here are a couple that i recently got graded thanks to Gumbyfan and the group submission on CU.

cheap new additions: 1998 Donruss gold & silver Press Proofs

1998 was one of my “absentee” collecting years, I kinda didn’t collect much from 1995-2002 for various of reasons.. (mostly chicks & booze)..
